I'd feed the deer OTHER food!!!

Actually, cottage is approached by a path along the river, but on OTHER side is a corn field, so I guess I'll see a bunch of critters there! Haven't lived at cottage yet, being painted (and I have lots of stuff to do,) so won't be able to tell 'stories' for a while!
